Strategic Debt Advisory

We bring deep expertise in the German debt capital market, having successfully advised on over 100 debt transactions in the past 15 years. Our approach is fully integrated, covering the entire financing process – from assessing financing requirements and selecting the optimal financing instruments and debt capital providers, to negotiating documentation and final execution. As an independent advisor, we act solely in the interest of our clients – whether for refinancings, acquisition or project financings, or the structuring of new capex loans.

Trust, loyalty, and execution excellence are the foundation of our work. Every step – from managing a competitive lender process to final negotiations and closing – is thoroughly prepared, professionally managed, and designed to deliver long-term value.
